Thanks to our followers for ideas.Yes, textile engineer. That’s not a fashion designer in any way.You’ve obviously not watched the movie. She invented those fabrics to resist flame, turn invisible, resist high amounts of friction, and stretch infinite times, and avoid tear from bombsshe did a tad more than “design” them(Id go so far as to say “tactical textile engineer”And since the fabrics have to be comfortable as well, she’s a tactile tactical textile engineer.And since the uniforms also had to look stylish and not gaudy, she’s a tasteful tactile tactical textile engineer.And since she was making suits for superheroes of color in the 50′s she’s a tolerant tasteful tactile tactical textile engineerTiny tolerant tasteful tactile textile engineer Materials engineering is a thing.Unless your cloth was eithera) handsheared animal fiber/hand-harvested plant material that has been handspun into thread that got handwoven into clothe,Orb) starstuff imagined and ritually danced into existence with the help of angelic unicorns and cotton candy pixies on the freaking astral plane,then odds are good that a materials engineer– most specifically, a textile engineer– was instrumental in its making.And, frankly, even if it doesn’t fit into one of those two categories? It still involved some hella learning and skills to make it happening.I am taking my first class in apparel construction and it is measure and measure again and regrade your lines so they will look straight going over a curve and measure and will that seam hold up under stress ARE YOU SURE and you’re almost out of fabric can arrange all your pieces so they fit and hope you like complicated angry machinery because the serger came unthreaded and measure againIn other words, a shitload of math and engineering. And that’s the absolute beginner level, with an existing pattern. Making your own patterns gets waaaay more complicated. So yes, even if Edna didn’t make her own fabrics she’d be just as smart and skilled as all the other women here.I think you guys are still missing a bit of it.She’s not only a scientist creating revolutionary textile tech, she’s not just a designer coming up with aesthetically pleasing designs. She’s not even just a pattern maker, drafting those concepts into working patterns. She also seems to be the seamstress, not just a seamstress, she’s the person called a sample maker in sewing factories, the one capable of all the sewing start to end. Now I know women’s trades are generally devalued, so let me put it in clearer terms. It’s as if she designed a revolutionary new building material, did concept art of a building, drafted the architectural plans and then built it herself. SUCK IT HATERS.  -- source link
